Actually it's not bad, but it just feels like a breath

I like it at the beginning and the end.

Frog Rain really likes it (it turns out that the frog... is so big)) Maybe I am the only one who thinks of Haruki Murakami among a bunch of sacred classics? This narrative structure is actually uncommon, and it is actually fixed in writing. The pattern? Use coincidences to string up many characters and events together and push them to the lowest point together, and then burst out emotional climaxes together. The disadvantage is that the time allocated to each character is not too much to let everyone enter the dilemma at the fastest speed, so the characters are usually set in the "arrow on the string" time period. In the film, it is an old man who is dying. The other is a TV competition show. When watching the intense and rapid flow of the plot, the audience has no time to walk into the characters' hearts or anything. They only need to quickly accept the settings given in the plot and empathize with them because of extreme events.

For this kind of nervousness...Everyone inside was hysterical, and the drug-addicted girl looked like she was knocked on her face and panting. I always felt that the police saw that she had a problem... Finally, his mother told me that he loved it. Fucked with her? Seriously, I think the girl who abused drugs and promiscuous sex was found out by the uncle of the police who wanted to find a "quiet girl". It is hard to say that the relationship can really continue. No matter what, it has to be in the bureau. Right... But this line is a good one, and the ending is very touched by my mother when she arrived.

The old man Earle's little wife suddenly fell in love with the dying old man and she wanted to commit suicide. It doesn't mean that this situation doesn't exist... but it really doesn't have any foreshadowing... I love him so much, or "because I have been tricking him into all sorts of fucks with other men before, so he is going to die, I suddenly love him..."... She was so excited that I always suspected that she was also high... …And all the sentiment views in this film are………………"Repent and make up for derailment mentality"? That is to say, the subject is suddenly very nice to you... Then he must have a dog outside...

A nurse is a tool man with many roles. . The TV prodigy criticizes the media pretty well... The other two kids are so miserable and the tool man (...) and his chair-smashing father forgave him because he got off a frog??? The former prodigy’s line is actually not related to other lines. Not big...have to use the enthusiastic police to meet different characters everywhere... to string together...... The dying Earl admitted that he had cheated on his wife and abandoned his son when he was young and now wants to meet his son. PUA lecturer Tom’s life history was faked and dismantled...just after the interview, he was summoned to meet the old man who hated him for half his life...This coincidence is very blunt...but the scene between Old Man Earl and Tom is probably the whole audience. The best and relatively complete story line in an emotional sense. But it's just that an old bastard finally met his son who hadn't seen him for many years through a "movie-like miracle" to achieve a very clique salvation? Very Christ's concept of fraternity. Touching is touching but nothing more than a family joy.

The main point of the story is actually not very profound, but it is mystified by the way of telling... It's actually Hollywood? As long as you really regret it, there will be miracles to redeem emm. There are also several characters who can't stand up. In addition, I think the director must be quite young? The film is very long but not very meaningful. Several lines have been achieved by accumulating power to "shock the audience". It is indeed very explosive. The spectacle and the emotional climax will appear together. Moved, but the details are done in general, and the stories are not all told perfectly. Expectations are a bit too high. In contrast, it is far inferior to "A Rainstorm Is Coming" which is also a circular narrative.

Although it seems a bit unbearable because they are all complaining about the shortcomings, the film is actually good, but I always feel that it is not good. .
